Itinerary
1
Port Isaac
Walk down into the heart of Port Isaac and take in the cluster of whitewashed cottages and narrow lanes that made television producers fall instantly in love with this place. Discover how this working Cornish harbour village, with roots stretching back to the 14th century, became the fictional Portwenn that charmed audiences around the world from 2004 to 2022.
2
Fern Cottage (aka Doc Martin's surgery)
Stop on the road outside Fern Cottage and take in the iconic exterior that served as Dr. Ellingham's surgery throughout the entire run of Doc Martin. Marvel at how this privately owned harbourside cottage — unmistakable with its painted facade and harbour views — launched a thousand photographs and became one of Britain's most recognisable TV locations.
3
The Buttermilk Shop (aka Portwenn Chemist)
Pass the Buttermilk Shop and recognise the frontage that transformed across the series into Mrs Tishell's beloved — and frequently relocated — pharmacy. Enjoy spotting how the production team returned to this corner of the village again and again, dressing it differently to suit whichever series was filming at the time.
